I am glad you are at least alive, and even with those horrid surgeries and the pain you are still here so that is a blessing in itself! I am so glad your neighbors and everyone is helping out and that you weren't hurt worse. It was a very brave thing you did to sacrifice yourself for the puppy's life. Glad to hear you quit smoking too! You will feel so much better about that in the future, I know beause I smoked for eight years and quit 15 years ago. I LOVE not smoking and you will too. Lots of prayers headed your way for a full recovery in the shortest amount of time possible.

Wow Karen, you did great to type all that by yourself.

I think it's great you've stopped smoking and are so positive about it all. I think I would fall very short on the attitude part.

Lots of gentle ((hugs)).

Dear Friend, My heart sank reading that you were attacked trying to save a puppy. You are a true hero! I'm still trying to piece in exactly what happened. I remember a while ago you posted about Logan getting new neighbors (3 Rotties). Are these the dogs that attacked you?

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Karen, you are so fortunate that your brother was home. Please tell him your friends are very grateful for his quick and decisive action. I would give him a big hug for being there for you if I could.

Love,
Candy

I'm assuming it was them. I remember her saying that 2 of the 3 were not so friendly. But regardless, breed means nothing, as any med-large breed dog could have done that. Its 100% the owners fault for not training the dogs properly & not taking proper percautions if the dog(s) were dog aggressive Like muzzling them when they went outside or building a special fence that goes underground & out to prevent digging holes (if I recall these dogs were digging before). It owners like that that make ANY breed look bad

Karen, you are far more stronger and braver person than I could ever hope to be.

I'm so sorry you have to go thru this. I hope your wounds heal quickly and I hope justice is delivered to you. *HUGS*

Oh, you know I'm so happy to hear from you, and to know that you are making some progress in your recovery. (Heal, Karen, Heal!)

Most of all I am so proud that you have continued with your intended Quit Smoking project. Last weekend I saw the Tanya Tucker show *Tuckerville*. She was trying to quit smoking, went to a hypnotist and lit one up on the way home. All I could think of was how much I hoped your determination was stronger than that.

Thank you for taking the time (and effort) to paw out the one paw uppydate. You know how we all need to hear from you.

I'm so glad I came over here to check and see if you had posted, Karen! Of course, I thought your secretary would have been the one to type it out! Good for you, one hand and all!!!!

Now that I've read your update, I won't call today, as I had intended, since we hadn't heard from you in a couple of days. I will save that call for another time.

Hang in there and keep wiggling those fingers! I'm so proud of you for stopping the smoking, too. You are going to feel so much better, and just think of all the money you will save!!!!
